How many changed your mind about your baby's name once it was born?

Question

Curious how many people were dead set what they were naming their baby and then when it was born, changed their mind. 😊
I don't mean the gender ended up being different and had to change names. I'm meaning knowing it's x gender and changing the name for whatever reason i.e. didn't look like that name or something else.

Answer

I was set on Valentina for my last, looked at her and was like nooo lol it didn’t fit her little face. Ended up naming her Violet

Answer

We were back and forth about a first name for a girl. I was dead set on ember Grace but my husband wasn’t set, so we agreed whatever we named her, the middle name would be Grace. We decided on bella Grace and were good to go. Then I heard the name rose and it almost immediately clicked in my head we NEEDED to name her bella rose. Belle from beauty and the beast was the inspiration for Bella so Bella rose was just too fitting for her. So not at birth, but we ended with a totally different name than we thought.

Answer

My partner & I have a very different taste in names so once we agreed upon a name for any of our children, there was no more discussion & that was baby’s name lol.

Answer

Both of our pregnancies were genders reveals at birth and we kept our name options secret. 
For our son, we had two names and chose after he was born. For our daughter, we had a name picked out. When they handed her to me, I immediately knew that wasn’t her name, so we went with a different one. It was a good choice because her name fits her sass.

Answer

We weren't dead set on one name, but we had two possible ones and we bothe leaned to one of them. when baby was born he was definitely the other name.

Answer

With my Frist I didn't choose the name my ex husband did but I don't like it and want to get her first and last name changed - divorced from him and never got to choose name - she's now 6 . Currently pregnant with number 2 and love the name picked out

Answer

We love the name we gave our baby, but now we wish we would have switched them around bc we call him by his middle name. It’s just going to be annoying in school for him.
